5 Times in 2017-18 the Democrats Lied and said ‘the Sky is Falling’

Fellow patriots, please listen to this short, inspiring message from General Flynn. General Michael Flynn exemplifies patriotism, courage, and love of God and country - despite some of his own countrymen relentlessly attacking him. Donations for his defense are greatly appreciated. If you can only give $5.00, please do so - every little bit helps. Thank you so much, and God bless. Letter from General Flynn.

It’s really troublesome that the media hasn’t yet picked up on the theme of the Democrats talking points in the era of Trump.

The Democrats are liars and manipulators who constantly try to play on the fears of the American people.

For almost every major (and even a few minor) piece of legislation (or judicial nominee) that the GOP, or President Trump, supports, the Democrats respond with… ‘but Millions will Die!’

Don’t believe me?

Let’s do some recapping, shall we?

1. The Paris Climate Change Accords

Liberals argued that if we pulled out of the Paris Climate Change Accords that President Obama illegally (entering into a treat without consent of the legislature is unconstitutional and non-binding) entered us into, that millions of people would die.

Former Clinton advisor and leftwing economist Larry Summers poo-pooed President Trump’s tax plan, saying it would kill millions of people. Instead of death and destruction, the President’s tax plan has put more money back into people’s pockets, help reinvigorate the economy, led to an explosion in jobs, and the first real wage increases we’ve seen in a decade. If that’s mayhem… i’m not sure what these liberals think the word means.

Here are a few other lefties promising doom and gloom.

Nancy Pelosi:

Nancy Pelosi: "[Tax reform] does violence to the vision of our Founders."

And Nancy again, this time saying that the tax bill would be ‘the end of the world.’ Seriously.

“No, it is the end of the world. The debate on health care is life, death. This is Armageddon. This is a very big deal, because you know why? There’s really a very hard way to come back from this. They take us further, more deeply into debt. What can you do but raise taxes? They throw a few crumbs to the middle class. What they give with one hand they take away in bounty with the other.”

By the way, the “end of the world” stuff wasn’t the only lie the Democrats were telling. Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) tried to argue that some middle class Americans would actually get tax INCREASES. Boy, was she wrong.

A few weeks before the vote, rising Democratic star and many on the left’s favored 2020 presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris spread the false claim that all middle class families making less than $86,000 a year would get a tax increase. The claim ended up getting slammed even by the left-leaning Washington Post, who gave Harris and the Democrats who produced the fake talking point Four Pinocchios.

3. Obamacare Repeal

When the Republicans tried to repeal Obamacare, the Democrats immediately claimed that it would lead to hell on earth in the USA. Socialist Bernie Sanders (I-VT) (recently, the runner-up for Presidential candidate from the Democrat Party) argued that doing so would be worse than having another 9/11 every year.

“Now obviously nobody can predict exactly how many people will die if they lose their coverage. Nobody can make that prediction. But what experts at the Harvard School of Public Health estimate, is that if 23 million Americans were to be thrown off the insurance they currently have, which is what the House bill would do, up to, up to 28,000 Americans every single year could die. That is nine times more than the tragic losses we suffered on 9/11, every single year.”

Socialist loonbag Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) raged, “If this legislation is passed and millions of people are thrown off health insurance … thousands of Americans will die.” He continued, “I think that legislation is disgusting. It is immoral. It must be defeated and I hope there is enough sense amongst some of the Republicans.”

But as Forbes explained, the idea that repealing Obamacare would “kill” anyone was patently absurd. The vast majority of those who would lose their Obamacare insurance are actually also enrolled in Medicaid, meaning that almost no one would involuntarily “lose” their healthcare coverage because of Obamacare reform.

4. Ending Net Neutrality

Net Neutrality was only thing for about two years. From June 2016 to June 2018 the Obama-era FCC attempted to give the government control of the Internet, ostensibly to ‘keep the internet free.’ If you give it any thought, the idea is nonsense. How could giving government control over something make it more “free.” That’s illogical. Regulating things, by definition, makes them less “free.”

So when President Trump was elected and the FCC leadership changed their first major decision was to end net neutrality and return the Internet to it’s previous state of absolute freedom. This move sent the left into an apoplectic fit of nonsensical rage. (Here are 7 reasons that net neutrality is idiotic.) They began arguing that by ending net neutrality Republicans were ushering in the destruction a free and fair Internet! The web as we knew it would never be the same… oddly, none of the doom and gloom has come to pass. Even more interesting, all of the worries that net neutrality supporters have long worried about… have never been a problem. Ever.

But still the Democrats fear-mongered.

Here’s Chuck Schumer (D-NY) comparing ending net neutrality to toll roads (meanwhile he comes from a state covered in toll roads, and toll roads are a leftwing idea):

If #NetNeutrality is eliminated, the Internet may start to resemble a toll road, with the highest bidders cruising along private “fast lanes” while the rest of us inch along a single, traffic-choked public lane.

Here’s what’s not reasonable: the suggestion that your internet use is likely to change radically from what it was in 2015, before net neutrality went into effect. Here’s what else isn’t reasonable: people of the Left who think that Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter operate fine in the free market, and that consumers don’t have to worry about discrimination thanks to open competition, but that the same doesn’t apply to ISPs.

In any case, the doom and gloom are wildly overstated. If we really wanted to open up the internet, we’d truly need to focus not on national policy and major corporations, but on local regulatory regimes that restrict the building of new broadband networks.

Without net neutrality the Internet is truly free. If corporations begin monopolizing our access to the Internet, we already have a recourse through the government’s power to break up monopolies. The left’s answer to their fears of tech industry control of the internet, by handing control to the government, is actually worse than the problem itself.

Keep in mind, this is for a nominee so mainstream — so much a part of the conventional Republican establishment — that it’s easy to imagine a President Rubio or a President Jeb Bush putting him on the Supreme Court. He’s not remotely radical. His jurisprudence is squarely within the originalist tradition, and the main critique endured during the run-up to his nomination (including from me) was that he was too safe, that the Court needed a bolder choice.

Judge Brett Kavanaugh was the safest, least bold, choice that President Trump could have made. If he, a mainstream judge with a long history of mainstream legal opinions (He’s so milquetoast that Current Justice, Elena Kagan, hired him to work for her at Harvard Law!), is to controversial to be easily confirmed… then the Democrats have lost all perspective on the Court and on American jurisprudence.

But Kavanaugh isn’t the story here. The point to all of this is that over the last year and a half, Democrats have repeatedly claimed that GOP-led issues would lead to death, destruction, and calamity (even Armageddon). Yet, none of that has come to pass

Normal Americans are beginning to wonder just how insane the fear-mongering from the left is going to get?

Are these the same millions whose lives were threatened by pulling out of Paris Accord, then again by Trump's Tax Reform, and now once more? I am beginning to think you guys have a horde of crisis actors whose sole job is to have their lives threatened by Trump constantly.
